Sphinx is an AI reliability and governance system for data and analytics that works to make AI-generated answers over enterprise data correct and auditable. Its tagline is "AI gets data wrong. Sphinx makes it right." The product pairs a data-science AI agent that lives in the code editor (a VS Code / Cursor extension, a command-line interface, and a Jupyter-native workflow) with a centralized, evolving knowledge base of business definitions and metrics, governance and role-based access controls, self-correcting accuracy that catches drift and hallucinations, and end-to-end auditability with full output lineage. Developers reach the platform through the Sphinx CLI (sphinx-ai-cli), the in-notebook Sphinx Library Python package (sphinxai) for LLM chat, embeddings, vision, and secure access to connections and secrets, and MCP for connecting external tools. Sphinx is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant with a zero data retention posture. The company raised a $9.5M seed round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.
